Cao Pi and Sima Yi finally joined forces in one place.

"Haha, Zhongda, this time thanks to you." As soon as he saw Sima Yi, who was also wearing a battle armor and holding a long sword, Cao Pi said with laughter.

"It's good that the second son has nothing to do. The minister suggested that he should retreat now, not to fight with him, and to leave while the main force of the enemy army has not yet arrived. Sima Yi did not have the slightest hint of relaxation on his face at this meeting, on the contrary, he was still very nervous.

"Okay, withdraw." At this moment, Cao Pizai didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly ordered: "Please General Cao Zhen lead the troops to break off, and the others will withdraw first." ”

Cao Pi and Sima Yi withdrew, and when Lu Bu arrived, they saw a steady stream of soldiers escaping from Yiyang City.

Seeing that the surrounded fruit was about to flee like this, Lu Bu was naturally angry, Fang Tian drew a halberd and waved it, and said to the cavalry under him: "Kill, you can kill one and kill another, don't let go." ”

"Kill." The main cavalry of the vanguard corps roared loudly and launched a fierce attack on the Cao soldiers.

If you want to talk about siege, it is indeed not the specialty of the vanguard legion, but when it comes to the melee between the two armies, there are indeed few legions that are stronger than them, plus the cavalry against the infantry, it already has a great advantage, and for a while, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and then I saw that the corpses of the Cao army were scattered everywhere.

The battle lasted from midnight until dawn, and it was not until it was time for breakfast that it came to an end.

But unfortunately, Lu Bu did not find any traces of Cao Pi and Sima Yi when he cleaned up the results of the battle, and it was obvious that these people had fled. Lu Bu was still a little angry about not being able to fight in one battle, so he roared angrily: "Come on, order 50,000 soldiers and horses to send to Xincheng with my troops, and the others will be led by General Hou Cheng, the deputy commander of the army, and continue to clean up the battlefield." ”

Lu Bu wanted to continue the pursuit until he killed Cao Pi and Sima Yi. This is also Zhang Chao's order to him when he came, these two people will be confidants, the best can be caught, and they will be killed if they can't be caught.

Lu Bu didn't want to disappoint Zhang Chao, so he took 50,000 cavalry and left Yiyang City non-stop, heading towards the new city.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi, who were fleeing to the new city, ran all night and waited for General Cao Zhen, who came behind them.

At this moment, Cao Zhen was a little embarrassed, and there was a sword wound on his body, which was left when he fought with the vanguard army.

"Zidan? What's going on? Seeing Cao Zhen following with the army, Cao Pi stepped forward and asked with a concerned face.

"Second son, you have suffered a lot of losses. I only brought out more than 40,000 people. When Cao Zhen talked about this result, he was unwilling.

In addition to the 10,000 people in the city that Sima Yi took away before, there were still 90,000 people, but after the first battle, he lost more than half, how could he not be annoyed.

Hearing that only more than 40,000 people came out, Cao Pi was also a little distressed. But this moment is not the time to blame anyone, is it he who made the idea of staying in the city? After thinking about it, he comforted: "Okay, Zidan, if you don't have to be sad, just come out alive." In this case, let's retreat to the new city first. ”

"No. Second son, Lu Bu came with a brave and mighty army, and it is inevitable to capture us, but now that he has not caught much of it, he must be unwilling. Maybe it's coming with cavalry at this time? If you go to Xincheng at this moment, I am afraid that there is still the possibility of being surrounded. "Sima Yi's ability to see the situation is really powerful, and he even guessed what Lu Bu might do next.

This time, Cao Pi was no longer suspicious of Sima Yi, and after hearing this, he just said with some worry, "Zhongda, what will happen next?" ”

"Withdraw! Sending troops to Luhun City and withdrawing from there to Yuzhou is the best policy. Sima Yi clenched his fists and said.

"Ahh If we withdraw, who will meet the other generals if they flee here? Cao Zhen, who was on the side, heard that he was going to run away by himself, and couldn't help but ask in a dissatisfied tone.

"Then it's up to creation." Sima Yi shook his head, now that the initiative has been lost, they now have to think about how they can escape, not the safety of others, if they think too much, they can only put themselves in.

This time, Cao Pi did not hesitate, let alone waver in the slightest because of Cao Zhen's words, but quickly made a decision: "Withdraw, withdraw to Lu Hun City." ”

Cao Pi said this, which is tantamount to him giving up the preparation to rescue friendly troops, which is also forced to take it for himself. Although Cao Zhen didn't like it, he also knew that there was no choice but to do it, so he agreed to give the order.

Cao Pi withdrew, and Lu Bu chased all the way, but he did lose his trace when he chased to Xincheng, and at this time he also learned from the intelligence department that the enemy did not go to Xincheng, but turned the road to Luhun, and withdrew from there to Yuzhou.

Cao Pi left very decisively, even if he was in Lu Hun City, he only ate a meal and left, and there was no stop.

Lu Bu knew that he missed the best opportunity to pursue, and Cao Pi and Sima Yi couldn't catch up, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he was indeed helpless.

It was more than ten days before Cao Pi withdrew to Yuzhou, and the soldiers who followed him were indeed less than 50,000. I wanted to come out with an army of 200,000 at the beginning, but now I came back with less than 50,000 people, which also made the second prince a little depressed, and after he reported the matter to Cao Cao, he got a good reprimand.

It's just gratifying that it didn't take long for the two generals Sun Li and Han Meng to return to Yuzhou, although they didn't bring back any troops, but they did come back alive.

Zhang Chao took Hedong as a lure and led Cao Pi to attack, and then attacked everywhere, finally inflicting heavy losses on them, and beheaded Wang Shuang and Chen Tai, two generals, which can be regarded as revenge for being killed that day.

The first battle of Sili made Cao Cao's plan to send troops north bankrupt.

Zhang Chao's return made Cao Cao also have the possibility of being attacked on his back. In desperation, he had to give up the strategy of attacking the Sun family of Eastern Wu and began to recycle his troops.

Cao Sun fights.

Cao Cao's timing of sending troops was very good, and he was not hindered in any way during the period, and he made good progress at the earliest. In addition, with the cooperation of Liu Bei's 200,000 army on the side, he has been eyeing one side, making Sun Jian always passive.

But with the successive victories of Zhang Chao in Yongzhou, coupled with the sudden support of the Waterway Army, Cao Cao fell into passivity. Sun Quan began a step-by-step counterattack, and although it did not lead to a decisive victory, it also broke Cao Cao's plan to capture Eastern Wu in a short time.

In addition, Zhuge Liang's army was defeated, and the 200,000 troops originally stationed here had no possibility of attacking, so Cao Cao had to retreat, and the battle in the south ended.

Everything ended with Cao Cao's loss of more than 100,000 soldiers and Sun Jian's loss of more than 200,000 soldiers.

failed to take advantage of Zhang Chao's soldiers and Liang, and took Sun Wu, Cao Cao was tantamount to losing the best opportunity, and then, the initiative was not with him, what he needed to do was to prevent Zhang Chao from attacking him.

Soochow.

Cao Cao finally withdrew his troops, and while Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, he got the news that his daughter Sun Shangxiang was leaving.

"Daughter, are you leaving?" Seeing that his daughter had already packed up and was about to withdraw at any time, Sun Jian said with some reluctance.

"The husband has ordered someone to send the news, the war between Yong and Liang is over, Cao Cao has also withdrawn the army, he is about to establish a new country, and his daughter is going back to participate in some ceremonies." Sun Shangxiang also said with some reluctance.

was able to stay by her parents' side for a few more days, Sun Shangxiang was naturally willing, but she just married a chicken and followed the chicken, even if she had chosen to follow Zhang Chao, then everything should be based on this man's decision.

Besides, Zhang Chao wrote to say that he was going to prepare for the founding of the country, which was definitely a big deal, and as the sixth lady, Sun Shangxiang also had to go back. Sun Jian supports this.

Originally, Zhang Chao had four states, including Merge, You, Hebei, and Sili, and now in the addition of Yong and Liang, six of the fourteen states in the world are already the largest and strongest princes, and now even Liu Bei, who has only two states, has been called the emperor, so why can't Zhang Chao build a country?

In Sun Jian's view, Zhang Chao can not only build a country, but the establishment of this country is likely to represent the future merger of the entire Central Plains, and also represents the fall of the Han Dynasty, which lasted for more than 400 years.

In such a big event, his daughter can participate in it and get a certain title, and Sun Jian has no reason to object. Moreover, if it weren't for Zhang Chao sending a waterway army to support this time, plus a large number of Cao Cao's troops in the north, I am afraid that it is difficult to say whether Eastern Wu will change hands this time. Just this personal favor, he has to admit it.

Sun Jian agreed, and it was naturally difficult for others to say something. Only the second son Sun Quan was still a little unwilling to say: "Little sister, if Zhang Chao treats you badly, you will come back, and the Sun family will always welcome you." ”

"Well, he's been nice to me." Sun Shangxiang looked at this second brother and smiled. She didn't know why her second brother was always hostile to Zhang Chao, but fortunately, her father, mother and eldest brother still supported her, so it was fine.

Sun Shangxiang left on the boat of the Waterway Legion, and was protected by Gan Ning, the captain of the Waterway Legion, along the way, and there would be absolutely no problem with safety.

And when Sun Shangxiang left Soochow, Zhang Chao had already crossed Luoyang with a large army and was heading towards Bingzhou. Guo Jia and others in the city are also planning to build a country.

For Zhang Chao's founding of the country, his civil and military ministers are extremely supportive, they also need a name, although the power is monstrous, but after all, it is not the right way, and once the lord becomes the emperor, they will also become the founding fathers, which has a great impact on future generations, and even in the history books there will be a lot of records, which is what many people value.

The so-called history is just that.
